It looks amazing from what I have read will be a 1.6 turbo hybrid electric 4 wheel drive effort 197bhp from the petrol engine + 36bhp electric motors on each rear wheel. lighter chassis(will need it with all that extra drive weight) should be out before the end of 2011 (france I would suspect).

Double the price?
Thats why they call me Terry Tibs

i've never driven (or been in) both of them but owning the 207GTD, kind of makes this a biased opinion... lol.
IMO, the 207 is a far superior build quality then the 206! even the base model 207's feel so much more solid and well built! the 206 in comparison just feels so cheap! it really does!
performance and handling wise. there's a tiny bit of understeer (maybe because of the electronic steering crap?) and with it being a bigger and heavier car, it doesn't really help much. it rolls a little in the corners but its never let go on me (only when i was bing a complete tit! lol).
so, to sharpen things up a little, you can get some lowering springs. my eibach pro-kit 30mm ones are the danglies! and you can give it a good custom map and get it upto 200hp+! (wojuld be advisable as they run very lean as standard) plus a whole lot more torque!

yeah twed i agree with you.
my aunty has owned a 137bhp, 180 then a 207 thp, and now se is on a 207 2.0hdi.
207 is the better out of all I have driven.

That doesn't have to be your opinion Stu...it's fact! Although the gti 180's are better built than others, peugeot wanted to make sure of it so it looked that much better than the 138.

lol. noo, they never put a 2.0 engine in it because there wouldn't be enough consumer demand considering the 1.6thp/HDi engines are pokey enough.
it'll be the 1.6HDi (DV6ATED4). there's 2 versions of it. the 110 version has a better turbo and different injectors too.

I test drove a 207gti a couple of years back and it was pretty boring imo. It didn't really make any noise and didn't feel like a sporty car.. It had that sort of salesmen feel to it, it went very quick but had no soul. So for that, 180 any day

Me and Howey saw a few pictures in auto express which has a feature on the 208GTI, and i think that we might get one, plus it looks alot nicer than the 207 . . . Which i'm not really a big fan on
